| Acacia |
| A great acacia, with its slender trunk And overpoise of multitudinous leaves, (In which a hundred fields might spill their dew And intense verdure, yet find room enough) Stood reconciling all the place with green. E. B. Browning—Aurora Leigh. Bk. VI. | 1 |
| Light-leaved acacias, by the door, Stood up in balmy air, Clusters of blossomed moonlight bore, And breathed a perfume rare. George MacDonald—Song of the Spring Nights. Pt. I. | 2 |
| Our rocks are rough, but smiling there Th’ acacia waves her yellow hair, Lonely and sweet, nor loved the less For flow’ring in a wilderness. Moore—Lalla Rookh. Light of the Harem. | 3 |
